Lee's Summit Public Works

From pothole patching in spring, to snow plowing in winter, Public Works provides many of the City's essential programs and services. If you've driven on a City street, used a bike lane, taken trash to the landfill, or watched a plane fly overhead, then you've encountered Public Works.

The Lee's Summit Public Works Department is responsible for:

planning, design, and construction of the City's infrastructure

operation and maintenance of the City's stormwater systems, streets, and traffic control network

Snow and Ice Control Updates

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) provides resources, including videos, on navigating diverging diamonds and roundabouts.
